   Sorry, naner. When I try to be precise about things and not essentialize, it does require some amount of padding with jargon (pertaining to specificity) which would otherwise be taken as bullshit-like if not read by the fielded eye. What I

   For that case, I agree with you. Where I refute Moot is where he calls the model of reality-reflected identity on Facebook incorrect, which comes off as essentialist. Imagine if Facebook at the start tells you to choose any name of your lik

   Is this perhaps old, from last year's results?

   I did this half a year ago on neovella.com. It seemed brilliant at first, but ultimately failed for two reasons: A) cross-browser compatibility for @font-face can be a real hassle when you're juggling a few different filetypes and trying to

   Not really sold on the :active box-shadow--looks tacky and unnatural. Try more of a blur radius on it?

   And why shouldn't I want to take swimming lessons from a mermaid? Sounds like a dream.

    A fling? So you're just going to drop me like its hot afterwards? Let's just pull out the green and get it over with. Quit sugar-coating it with your low-grade romance.

    Constantly challenge yourself to do things you normally would never want to do (outside your comfort zone), and then the convenient barriers and excuses will start to erode. Great things will look hardly taller than the smallest duties, and

    Indeed, but it side-steps the parts where the blogger inflates the importance of being passionate and such. Anyone less fortunate in those terms in that point in life probably couldn't get away with it, even if it were still a great school

    Is anyone else kind of baffled by the comment about the political risks of web sockets? Why do people waste time with answers like that?

    Thanks for the no-login suggestion. I really didn't want to go down the 4chan road, but it might make this interesting.

    Thanks for the confirm there. On it.

    Perhaps not so exactly. Since there are multiple authors somewhat disorganized, it's a matter of either being placed in line to write (real-time, all online at the same time), waiting for your turn to add, or receiving email notifications t

    Hey guys, this is a project I've been working on for several months now. The idea is to make the Internet a less lonely place, and let people write stories together both in real time and at their leisure, fearlessly weaving their ideas thro

    Also puzzled about this too, since the pricing scheme differs from a per/usage AWS fee. Maybe they're going the way of traditional shared hosting companies by banking on a very small percentage of their users actually ever achieving high tr

    Mostly correct. Only about half came from SA members, who were my fastest-adopting and highest-trafficking demographic upon launch. Their sense of humor also turned out to be quite a leap of unfathomable. We're writing a new story right now

    Are you sure you understand how this publication was "crowd-sourced"? Writers take turns contributing to a single plot/story--no one individual is writing anything cohesive on its own. The crowd-sourcing aspect is the fundamental production
